Neji Hyuga quickly understood the power he had gained.
This was the Tenseigan, an eye that could only be awakened by combining the chakra of the Otsutsuki clan with the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.
The Tenseigan was the ultimate evolution of the Byakugan, equivalent in status to the Rinnegan of the Six Paths lineage.
Wang Yan looked at him indifferently, his tone calm and emotionless. “I helped you enhance your strength, so you must repay me.”
With nothing of value to offer, Neji felt deflated.
But standing in front of Wang Yan, he couldn’t muster any thoughts of resistance.
What kind of power did Wang Yan possess to casually help him evolve from a Branch family’s ordinary Byakugan to the Tenseigan?
Even if Wang Yan couldn’t do it, how did Neji manage to achieve this?
The Tenseigan, though powerful, was not invincible.
“Please, tell me…”
When Neji spoke, he had a look of resignation as if facing a certain death.
Wang Yan smiled faintly, his voice still calm. “It’s nothing too extreme. No need to be so tense.”
With a snap of his fingers, Neji felt a flood of information fill his memory.
“Otsutsuki Toneri…”
As Neji processed the information, he murmured the name softly.
“He will descend from the moon in about two days. Be prepared. If you have any questions, come ask me.”
Hearing this, Neji felt a slight tingling on his face. He wanted to ask more, but Wang Yan had already disappeared, as if everything he had just experienced was an illusion.
But the Tenseigan in his eyes was very real!
“Even with such power, am I still just a pawn in someone else’s game…”
Neji covered his face, a bitter smile forming on his lips.
His eyes shone with a dazzling blue light.
…
How long is two days?
To Neji, it felt like just the blink of an eye.
During this time, he rigorously trained with the Tenseigan, pushing himself to master its powers and achieve some success.
Neji temporarily discovered new powers by setting aside the Gentle Fist techniques in which he was proficient.
Attraction and repulsion!
The Tenseigan Chakra Mode allowed him to wield the terrifying Truth-Seeking Balls for offense and defense!
Spatial abilities! Though he had only begun to grasp them, they greatly enhanced his survivability.
The ability to absorb chakra from enemies at a distance!
The ability to read minds!
After initially mastering the Tenseigan’s abilities, Neji became a natural enemy of the ninja world. Any humanoid life form using chakra was inherently at a disadvantage against him.
However, the more his power grew, the more Neji feared Wang Yan.
His Tenseigan-generated Spirit Balls could even read the thoughts of his uncle and the Sannin, but when used on Wang Yan, they had no effect at all!
Neji even sensed that if Wang Yan wished, he could suffer severe mental backlash, potentially becoming brain-dead or, worse, dead.
After awakening the Tenseigan, Neji’s five senses were greatly enhanced, and even his sixth sense grew to an unbelievable degree.
He trusted his instincts.
“Where did Teacher Wang Yan come from? What is his purpose?”
Neji closed his eyes, deep in thought.
He carefully reviewed Wang Yan’s actions, but the deeper he thought, the more confused he became.
It felt like he was lost in a maze of thoughts, unable to find any clues.
“Perhaps… he’s just a powerful and capricious man…”
Neji sighed bitterly, preparing to continue training and master the Tenseigan’s abilities when he suddenly sensed a strange yet familiar chakra descending upon Konoha from a distant sky.
This unique chakra was heading straight for the Hyuga household.
“A chakra similar to the Hyuga clan from the moon… Otsutsuki Toneri! It must be him!”
Neji clenched his fists, surprised at how quickly Toneri had arrived.
He had thought Wang Yan’s prediction of two days was just an estimate, but it was an accurate forecast.
“No matter… though his chakra is absurdly vast, he won’t be my match!”
He manipulated the “Invisible Spirit Ball” developed from his Tenseigan, instantly sending it into Toneri’s body through space.
“He’s trying to take Hanabi’s eyes?”
Neji’s expression darkened instantly.
Anyone who dared to harm his sister was unforgivable!
…
“So, this is the ninja world?”
Otsutsuki Toneri’s white hair fluttered in the wind as he rapidly moved through the streets of Konoha, his black-and-white eyes filled with indifference.
He had been born without eyes, but three days ago, after an unbearable sensation of soreness and itching, his eyes had grown in!
To Toneri, this seemed like a divine sign.
This filthy and corrupt world was finally about to be destroyed!
He regarded himself as a god, overlooking human affairs with complete disregard for passersby’s astonished or strange looks.
Human lives, to him, were like ants, utterly insignificant.
Given that, he cared even less about the opinions of these ants.
He had one objective!
To take Hinata Hyuga’s eyes and marry her!
Em…
Maybe two?
No matter, Otsutsuki Toneri didn’t care about such details.
His figure flashed, and he arrived at the Hyuga estate before long.
The pitiful guards didn’t even notice his presence.
Otsutsuki Toneri passed through layers of patrols and finally reached his destination.
“Remember this moment! Your sacrifice will be remembered in the new world!”
In his mind, little Hanabi Hyuga should be grateful for his taking her eyes to help him awaken the Tenseigan.
He pushed open the door to see one man and three women.
Otsutsuki Toneri only recognized Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga. As for the red-haired woman and the Hyuga branch house servant, he had no interest in wasting his energy on them.
He flashed to Hanabi’s side, his thumbs, index fingers, and middle fingers forming a grabbing motion, pressing hard on the little girl’s eye sockets.
“I’ll be taking your eyes.”
Otsutsuki Toneri let out a satisfied chuckle.
He applied force to pluck out Hanabi’s highly pure Byakugan but found his fingers encountering no resistance.
A cold breeze brushed over his hands, followed by a searing pain.
An invisible force severed his six fingers!
A mocking voice echoed in the residence.
“Who said all white-haired people are good?”
“Go, Neji! Use your Tenseigan!”
Otsutsuki Toneri turned to see a handsome, dark-haired youth floating in the air, issuing commands like a tamer to a circus animal.
